Guidry also pointed out what was quite noticeable by its absence from the video.

"I don't think there was one part of the videos we saw where we saw a guard present," Guidry said. "How were they able to have all of those things? With good management, this would not happen."

In a statement, the mayor calls the video outrageous.

"This videotape was hidden away from the public in a safe in the sheriff's office and only came to light when the city's legal team fought to uncover it," Landrieu said.

WDSU tried to catch up with Gusman to ask about the video, but he left the office with no comment.

"I'm appalled, I'm shocked at the gravity of the situation," said Southern University New Orleans criminologist John Penny.

Penny said this blow will be hard for the sheriff to recover from.

"It's going to call into question leadership. It calls into question competency. You know the public is looking for something to pounce on, so this does not bear well for his administration," Penny said.

Gusman is expected to answer questions about the video after he testifies at federal hearings on the jail reform plan, which could happen as early as Wednesday.

Forty years ago, one of the greatest boxing matches in history took place in an unlikely setting: the capital of the Philippines. Muhammad Ali's epic win over great rival Joe Frazier in 1975 became known as the "Thrilla in Manila."

Hillary Clinton's office said "nothing nefarious was at play" when the former secretary of state used her personal email address, rather than one provided by the State Department, during her four years as America's top diplomat.
